To be an Independent Learner

 

This week in Language Art class we talked about being Independent Learners. Students today are relying too heavily on other people’s thinking, the internet, teachers, etc. Which means that we should have our own perspective of what is and how we learn for ourselves. To be an Independent Learner, you should be engaged with your future, because what you learn now, you will need for something bigger when you get a job. You need to have different points of view, so you can compare them and see what is the best and more effective way to learn.

Independent Learning is learning that is self-directed. This kind of learning has to be organized and completed. We, Students have encouraged to know our own interests and what will help to improve our knowledge. We need to know when is the right time to ask for someone’s help. We need to practice a lot, so we know that we are not wrong, and that takes a lot of responsibility and self-discipline. We got to be interested enough so we can enjoy while learning, and enjoy what it is that we are learning.

Also, Independent Learners have a little of sense of insecurity, which is caused by the absence of an adult or a teacher that normally give students help and security. Those who are Independent Learners teach themselves and only ask question after a failure to find a solution on their own. Finally, I think being an Independent Learner is a great thing because students can accomplish many good characteristics from it, and be ready for their future, without many people’s help all the time. They know how to discover things for themselves which gives them responsibility.
